❌ HB128
Enact the Reproductive Care Act
Summary
The bill enacts the Reproductive Care Act, amending various sections of the Ohio Revised Code to establish regulations regarding abortion, reproductive health care, and related protections. It includes provisions for informed consent, criminal penalties for violations, and protections against civil liability for health care providers involved in reproductive health care. The act also addresses the collection and disclosure of personal reproductive health information.
Rationale
The bill imposes regulations on reproductive health care and abortion, which conflicts with the Libertarian Party's principle of self-ownership and individual rights over one's body. It also introduces government oversight and penalties that contradict the Libertarian Party of Ohio's advocacy for limited government intervention and personal freedom.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over personal health decisions
- Potential for legal challenges and civil suits against health care providers
- Restrictions on access to reproductive health services
